Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a national helpline to provide free information and assistance to renters facing eviction, helping them understand their legal rights and connect with local resources like legal aid and emergency rental assistance programs. The helpline would serve tenants who are struggling to pay rent or dealing with eviction notices, giving them access to guidance that could help them avoid losing their homes. This would primarily benefit low-income renters and those in areas with limited access to legal services.
